Sir Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey & Ralph Fiennes Talk Accents | The Graham Norton Show

[@MayLily]

I'm so glad Graham Norton is still doing his talk show! I love the variety of celebrities that come together for each show. It's simply the best talk show for actors and musicians.

[@stephaniegriffin7176]

It really is. I loved his show for the smae reason. Too bad I cut cable and don't have BBC anymore.

[@heidilee5312]

I could listen to Ralph Fiennes’s voice forever 🫠

[@mishynaofficial]

Reminds me of Ewan McGregor's voice.

[@StargazerNorth1]

I could listen to Ralph Fiennes talk about accents all day. He always come across as incredibly shy, yet very sweet at the same time.

[@MadAudi]

Some of my favorite actors! Patrick, Bella and Voldemort!

[@bigums21]

You mean he who shall not be mentioned

[@joseniaparker]

DON'T SAY HIS NAME!

[@Entertainment-os4ig]

Aaaah yeah. My good friend Tom. Lol

[@mishynaofficial]

Professor X, Voldy and some ladies.

[@thebaldmaniac]

Lek means to play in Swedish and other Scandinavian languages. Cool to see such connections jump out between Old English and Old Norse.

[@albertsnijders7566]

Viking heritage, after all , England has been "Danish" for about 400 years I believe.

[@catherinefarrugia7509]

I grew up in East Yorkshire and we sometimes said "Are you larking?" or refer to larking about meaning playing. I wonder if it comes from the same root. I'm guessing it does.

[@catherinefarrugia7509]

Also ta sounds very much like tak, the Danish word for thanks or thank you.

[@thoso1973]

Yep, toy brand LEGO is short for the Danish expression 'leg godt', which means 'play well'.

[@phoenixrose1192]

@@albertsnijders7566 Definitely not. Alfred the Great’s children and grandson basically conquered what was “the Danelaw” and unified England when Athelstan took Northumbria, which was as early as 927AD.

[@ssh1487]

Is that how Ralph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes of the landed gentry with a family castle has always spoken? Yes, yes it is 😂

[@imopn]

Jeez what a bench. Piccard, Little bear and Voldemort 😂 In all seriousness definitely some of my fav actors

[@justgranny9601]

Absolutely love Bella Ramsey ❤. Excellent actor!

[@tolitscopeworld2426]

So Professor X, Lyanna Mormont and Voldemort walked in a bar...

[@peterdiaz8658]

Hiya Lovlies, Ralph Fiennes re the accent soo true. Be proud and never lose. 🇨🇦🐝

[@KP-zd3hc]

The way they leant over like two attentive grandfathers 🥹

[@headlikeorange3600]

Bella has such 'easily-distracted corgi' energy lol.

[@stelios2506]

From the moment i was born 😄

[@shayslinguisticlounge]

Bella was amazing in Got.

[@ElskerSovs69_]

Ouuu this is a good couch, Patrick/beef stew is extremely funny as always, and graham is still the best talk show host ever!! Can’t stop watching Graham Norton clips, and on this one I’m even early :)

[@samprimera5545]

Patrick's line reminds me of Oz.The one that would pray something like Asam Adam Lacom.

[@Ray-qh9cm]

This is how Voldermot, Lyanna Mormont and Professor Charles having their tea time together.

[@alexingothenburg]

Yorkshire "leck" is probably norse, we say "lek" in swedish or "att leka" to describe children playing

[@phoenixrose1192]

Well Old English was incredibly similar to Old Norse…before it was ruined by the Normans. 😂

[@phoenixrose1192]

@SunnyDaze-uq8ed “Enriched”, sure.

[@martinadrianarcenas867]

From tye moment i was born..that was very voldemort like

[@Jordison888888]

Sir Patrick said the same story on Conan’s podcast 😊

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

THanks.

[@buddhistpriest82]

I can't tell if Bella is yoked or if they simply have normal sized arms on a smaller human frame

[@mnfrench7603]

If you live in Minneapolis, the REAL home of the Lakers.

[@marioh5172]

I am still searching for the acetate frame of Patrick's eye glasses. Thanks for helping me.

[@AlStone2]

Who here can name off the top of their head a film where Patrick and Ralph played father and son?

[@medicatedmenorah]

AVADA KEDAVRA!!!

[@IdaJernberg]

Kinda think the word might be older than that. Sounds kinda Norse to me

[@tinyderppotato5410]

yeah we use it in scandinavia

[@matthewgillies7509]

Bella Ramsey's accent is very distinct and very regional. I say that as a Canadian with an ear for these things, as usually I can guess with high accuracy someone's place origin, their education, as well as their other pit stops along the way.

[@JudyLeeThurber]

Ok...help me here please... do the British pronounce the name "Ralph" as "Rafe?" It sounds like that's what Graham said.

[@margaretgaskin4928]

Some people do. And sometimes it's spelled Rafe. Other times ordinary Wreck It Ralph. It's a class thing. He's very posh.

[@JudyLeeThurber]

Thank you 😊

[@currykingwurst6393]

I think it's just some old fashioned pronunciaton.

[@charlesmarshall1309]

@@currykingwurst6393 No, it’s not old-fashioned. It may be traditional, but it’s still used, especially by the better-off. It’s a class thing, as stated above.

[@Masque54]

It's pretentious nonsense! They hate 'Ralph' because they think it sounds common!

[@jonharrison9222]

Accents are what other people hear.

[@kyugull]

I really want to hear sir Patrick speak at length in right Yorkshire

[@lisastenzel5713]

I once heard about that word lakers. But I didn't get the original meaning. Had to do with a homework my sister had and she couldn't type...so I had to type for her. This went on for two years at least. I wanted to end her. My mother insisted I type for her. Wouldn't have been so bad, if she hadn't decided to change everything while reading it to me

[@OneViolentGentleman]

Umm, her name is Bella Ramsey with an e, no?

[@robertcawthorn8318]

Brave girl

[@EarthwormShandy]

Who's the other guy? Ralph, Bella and Patrick are named but not that one guy.

Layton Williams😌

[@mikenowland2739]

Who cares

[@IvoPavlik]

What does "RP" in the context of acting and speech mean? 🤔

[@IvoPavlik]

Ah, I found it. It's "Received Pronunciation" in case anyone is interested. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_Pronunciation

[@2004doody]

Bella Ramsey, the next Elliot Page.

[@Etheral101]

First time Ive seen Bellas arms. They usually cover up everything

[@ryanbrets7695]

Does someone else other than Bella have big arms?

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

Who else is stuck in the never ending loop of The Graham Norton show 👀

[@ncard00]

I’m not, cause I’m not wasting my life and time watching people talking about accents, when our planet’s climate is being destroyed at unprecedented speed. What a selfish thing, be selfless instead and save the world.

[@DesL488]

​@@ncard00Bet you're fun at parties too!

Hey Gamer, I adore 🥰 grahams show forever,the energy,the laughs,the way the peeps on the sofa luv being on his show. But,I feel something something is missing lately. 😢

[@gabrielagarciamayagoitia1599]

I am because I love the show but the BBC is now unavailable in México due to contract issues with our cable providers. Such a pity because I also miss the great drama series they produce. 2:56

[@echognomecal6742]

I'm not one for formality or spending tons on clothes, etc. & this is just my opinion, but Ralph Fiennes looks really nice, Sir Patrick looks comfortably nice, but (& again, I'm not into this stuff so I could be UTTERLY WRONG) Bella Ramsay looks like it's a common Saturday hanging out with friends. Layton Williams...I think would look really nice except it seems like the suit was hung under a tree for a week. Why on earth? Is there a reason for this? Also... Layton's bit about accents wasn't included, apparently :/

[@정태현-q2k]

Ralph fiennes was used for Pope Saint John Paul Il. Of it concerning portraits. Jesus, please use me. Our lady of Guadalupe, Pray for Us. ❤ Sabina

[@nayfern]

To translate Patrick: are you playing out? Seems he likes to milk his accent despite doing nothing for his home town

[@aleksandarmarkovic221]

despite not being from yorkshire, i get you

[@flannerymonaghan-morris4825]

Is it me, or does Patrick Stewart no longer sound as posh as he used to be? Could be from living in America for so long.

[@user-oc2nq5cd2z]

Gordon Ramsay's daughter sounds so different!!

[@chilidrummer8333]

Imagine having David Beckham and Jason Statham on the couch with their accents

[@janiceal-najjar5093]

@chilidrummer. Beckham and Statham just have run of the mill London accents even though Statham was born in Derbyshire. Nothing major about that. Not even Cockney

[@MrSpookyLover]

Dont really believe Fiennes there it was like when someone comes on GN and says the total opposite of the reality to sound more noble or even kinder. For example during the odious thatcher era there were plenty of people in the midlands who were made to feel throughly shamed sbout how they spoke

[@jiminhart]

Wasn't he speaking specifically of drama school?

[@MrSpookyLover]

@@jiminhart all the same. I doubt it was as progressive as he claims, but fair play if it was. I grew up in relative shame, about many things. IN any case, even media giants like netflix are prioritising (not excluding tho) people who speak the queen's English like Huddleston, fiennes and Cumberbatch. This is the reality. Girls,? Emily blunt, Judi dench, Keira knightly

[@connorjohnnn]

Yeah they were 100% told to get rid of any regional accents 40 years ago in a posh drama school LBFFR

[@phoenixrose1192]

Wasn’t Thatcher herself demeaned in government due to her gender, education and class though? I’m pretty sure the ‘old boys’ said things about the fact that she was a “grocer’s daughter” and even demeaned her “grammar school education”. The gall of those people…’odious’ is an apt enough word to describe that set in UK politics.

Ralph is iconic. Strongly recommend the movie "the English patient" to whoever hasn't watched it. Great movie 😊
